| Summary: | Water systems in an urban context are nowadays extremely standardized. This regulation is the result of important urban policies influenced by the hygienic theories of the 19th century. Thus, there are currently two strict boundaries that structure hydraulic systems: one between supply networks and drainage networks, the other between collective installations managed by the public authority (or a mandated company) and private developments. These separations are often used by archaeologists to describe and identify the hydraulic pipes found during archaeological excavations. Through the analysis of Roman drainage networks and the recovery of sometimes known files, this paper proposes a reflection on the relevance of using these boundaries to study networks in the Roman world in an archaeological context. |
